My wife announced yesterday that she is moving out. I thought she already had a place in mind for Feb. 1st but she stated she 'is still looking for places'.

This seems so unreal. I am trying to wrap my head around her need for space rather than the gut wrenching self pity/pain this situation brings up in me. I am trying to concentrate on just making myself a better person regardless of the situation but the other half of me is screaming for me to 'do something'.

Do something like yell, 'wtf are you thinking you crazy woman'! 'You are destroying what we have built. You have no idea how little we can afford something like this'. That thought process wars with the attempted acceptance that this is too far gone and at this stage she must move out.

Not that 'too far gone' means nothing will ever work out/we are done permanently. But more like the past damage requires this separation as the only potential way back to reconciliation.

Who knows, i certainly don't!
